Peter Jackson was once the Hunter S. Thompson of filmmaking, in that the only word capable of describing his eclectic vision was “gonzo”. And the epitome of this is 1992’s Dead Alive, a zombie movie so ludicrously over the…

"However, a lot of our slang is for speech only, we don’t write like that. Hence, you just have to sound it out and spell it as best you can!"
Any reference to Newfoundland English as "slang" depreciates the traditional speech of all Newfoundlanders. The language of any ethnic group is one of the most important components of its culture, so downgrading it to the level of "slang" also encourages a disparaging attitude toward that culture itself.
Newfoundland English has its origins in the dialects of West Country England where they were once respected enough to have had the Bible translated into them, which, of course, implies they had their own orthography (dialect spelling systems). Unfortunately, despite its centuries-long history, a dedicated spelling system was never devised for Newfoundland English and so it was never considered seriously enough to have the Bible translated into it, nor was it used to write anything resembling serious literature. Thus, Newfoundland English has no significant literary heritage.
Having been descended from West Country, Newfoundland English is, historically speaking, unrelated in any direct way to other World Englishes including Canadian or American English (which have their roots in a midlands London dialect) except for any loanwords borrowed from them over time. Again, unfortunately for the credibility of Newfoundland English, Newfoundlanders who do not know the history of our traditional language have acquired the idea that "we don’t write like that" and so must "sound it out and spell it as best you can".
So, what would Newfoundland English look like with its own spelling system? The answer is found in 'Traditional Newfy Talk, The First English Language of North America" (Nimbus), already mentioned elsewhere in this blog and available from your local bookstore.
